Arlene purchased some municipal bonds yielding 7% annually and some certificates of deposit yielding 9% annually.
If Arlene's investment amounts to $11,000 and the annual income is $810, how much money is invested in bonds and how much is invested in certificates of deposit?
========================
Quantity Equation: x + y = 11000
Income Equation::0.07x+0.09y = 810
---------------------------------------
Multiply thru the Quantity Equation by 7
Multiply thru the Income Equation by 100
------------------------------
7x + 7y = 77000
7x + 9y = 81000
--------------------
Subtract 1st from 2nd and solve for "y":
2y = 4000
y = $2000 (amt. invested in 9% CD's)
=========================================
